Archimonde who more or less annhiliated Malorne.2. Pyron was beat up by a vampire. Ganondorf gets beat up by a teenager (Repeatingly). A gigantic dinosaur gets beat up by a plummer. A powerful dark magiciant gets beat up by a baby dragon. Phoenix is killed by Wolverine.
It is called plot advancement events and in a lot of the cases, the defeat of a character does not mean they have met their match.
3. Illidan has nothing to do with this discussion. When someone says "One of the most powerful beings" I think top 5, which would make Lich King aspect level. If they had said "THE most powerful being", then I would not bother arguing this point, because that means he can actually match the most powerful Burning Legion member. But since he is one of a number, he should not be assumed to be one of the most powerful beings in the universe.
4. Nozdormu could never beat Archimonde heads up. Nozdormu may be the undying one, but simply because he will more or less never die, does not mean he can kill someone of Archimonde's level. If anyone is going to stand a chance against Archimonde, it is Neltharion or possibly Malygos. Although I am not saying they would win, but if anyone would put up a fight it would be them.
5. Like I said in point 2, it is called plot advancement events. You are saying that the Pit Lord leader that slaughtered thousands, is rated a top member of the Burning Legion and walked by his own towards the front lines of the Azeroth defense (Killing thousands) is killed by a swing of an axe, simply because Grom is better? For a starter, Mannoroth is better than Grom in ALL areas. He is faster, stronger, more endurant, more bloodthirsty, more intellectual, more magical and larger than Hellscream. Mannoroth is the demon who cause earthquakes by stomping in the ground.
Mannoroth did not die because he was a garbage warrior. He died because the story of Warcraft had to move on. If Mannoroth would have been like he is in the books, Thrall and Grom would have been squished carrots (Green carrots). The horde would never have lasted, the Warsong clan would have died and World of Warcraft would have never been born. Mannoroth HAD to die.
I appreciate that you are a dick. That way I can elaborate my view better 😄
(Edited a point, because proof that I do not have would have been demanded)
1. Ohhhh...so now Archy has limitless power? No he doesn't, not even Sarg's power was limitless. Archy, Lich King, and Killy are all "one of the most powerful". Hell, Jaina Proudmore is one of the most powerful, because she is stronger than the majority.
2. Bad examples. Pyron weakened himself before fighting the DSers, and Demitri is not some weak vampire either, he has powerful magic(which is something Pyron has never encountered before), great strength, speed and durability, and he even remarked after the battle that Pyron was a worthy opponent. Ganondorf gets beaten by Link because he has the necessary stuff to beat him, he has ALWAYS had help when fighting Ganondorf, and Link himself is no normal human. Mario is well beyond human capabilities as well, and Bowser is slow and sluggish. Are you talking about Spyro? Who is this powerful Dark Magician? Ripto? Ripto is also a midgit. That game is their for funsies, not for having a serious story(I like it, but it is not serious). Phoenix getting killed by Wolvie? Did that happen in the comics or just the movie?
3. Illidan is one of the most powerful beings in Azeroth. Arthas was above him, and now has fused with another being who has grown in great power.
4. What? Idk, the way some members here hyped him, I just assumed he could...they said he would stomp Pyron...
5. Mannoroth seemed pretty sluggish to me. He could run fast, but not fight fast, and his stomach is well exposed and appears softer than the rest of his skin, Grom found an opening and hacked his weak spot. 🙂
